Masseria Lugana offers an ideal location to discover the wonders of Puglia, located in the southern "heel" of Italy. Just 2km away is the charming town of Martina Franca, renowned for its Baroque architecture, historic churches, elegant palaces, and picturesque old town. The town also hosts cultural events, including the famous opera festival, the "Festival della Valle d’Itria" in its stunning Baroque cathedral every summer. Foodies will appreciate the vineyards and olive groves that surround the town, producing some of the finest wines and olive oils in Italy. Wine lovers can take a trip to the nearby town of Manduria, known for its delicious Primitivo wines. Explore the nearby Valle d’Itria, home to picturesque towns like Locorotondo, Cisternino, and Alberobello, famous for its trulli houses. Stroll around the white stone buildings and narrow alleyways before finding a table at a side-street ristorante for local delicacies such as burrata cheese or pasticciotto, a flaky pastry shell filled with custard. The Salento peninsula’s stunning beaches are also easily accessible, offering opportunities to bask in the Mediterranean sun and swim in the clear waters of the Adriatic and Ionian seas. The sandy beach at Torre Guaceto sits within a protected marine area and nature reserve, stretching over several kilometres and overlooked by a 16th century watchtower. If you don’t mind the drive, head to the southern end of the region to visit Marina di Pescoluse, affectionately known as the ‘Maldives of Italy’ because of its beautifully clean, almost white sand and clear turquoise waters. For those interested in history, the nearby city of Taranto (33km) boasts impressive Greek and Roman ruins, while further south you’ll discover Lecce, known as the "Florence of the South" for its impressive Baroque architecture, elegant piazzas, and stunning churches. Experience the breathtaking natural beauty of the Terra delle Gravine Natural Park by hiking through its canyons. The tall, narrow gorges that cut deep into the earth are an awe-inspiring sight, and visitors can choose to explore them independently or with a guide. This is an unforgettable experience for anyone who loves nature. More family fun and up-close encounters with animals can be found just thirty minutes away at Zoosafari Fasanolandia.
